Cerebras Systems CEO and co-founder Andrew Feldman believes we\u2019re nearing a future where everyone will have an AI appliance in their own home. <\/p>\n
Speaking on stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026<\/a> on Tuesday, the chipmaker executive answered a question about what would need to happen for AI to become a home appliance, saying, \u201cActually, I don\u2019t think that\u2019s very far away.\u201d<\/p>\n He pointed to the advances in consumer AI agents, like Meta\u2019s Muse and Instinct, the startup now valued at $10 billion, as examples of how AI is finding its footing with everyday users. <\/p>\n As for home AI? He predicts that we\u2019ll have personal AI assistants that run locally. <\/p>\n \u201cJust like your cell phone, they\u2019ll do some work on device and some work going back to the cloud,\u201d Feldman explained. \u201cBut I think they will get to know you very well, and you will have a security perimeter around them. And they will certainly have access to credit cards and be able to buy things for you,\u201d he continued. \u201cI think they will make a meaningful impact in making our lives better.\u201d<\/p>\n Of course, for an AI chipmaker, the vision of a home AI appliance, or at least widespread consumer adoption of agentic technology, is certainly appealing.<\/p>\n But Feldman isn\u2019t just working on the hardware infrastructure; he\u2019s a personal AI user himself, saying that he now uses \u201ca collection of agents\u201d to sweep his calendar, pull up information about the people he\u2019s going to have a call with, and more. While AI is already doing many of the things we used to do manually, Feldman is most excited about the new possibilities \u2014 things that weren\u2019t possible before.<\/p>\n He\u2019s leaving it up to other founders to figure out what those might be, though.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of the reasons I love being in infrastructure is because I don\u2019t need the consumer-facing idea \u2026 I like building the platforms that other people\u2019s ideas take flight on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission<\/a>.
